There was a man who had worked at a factory for twenty years. Every night when he left the plant, he would push a wheelbarrow full of straw to the guard at the gate.

The guard would look through the straw, and find nothing and pass the man through.

On the day of his retirement the man came to the guard as usual but without the wheelbarrow.

Having become friends over the years, the guard asked him, "Charlie, I've seen you walk out of here every night for twenty years. I know you've been stealing something. Now that you're retired, tell me what it is. It's driving me crazy."

The Japanese people takes food as a form of art and even their bento (lunch boxes) are beautifully decorated. It certainly heightens the mood of the person who eats the artful food especially children. [via]

I think of twisting balloons together as entertainment for little kids, but these photos Taken at a "Balloon Fashion Show" in China illustrate how far it has come as An art form. Some are amazingly imaginative and detailed!
